Sustainability Curriculum

Curriculum

Among the public school districts that have successfully integrated their sustainability programs with curriculum, the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) Learning Lab curriculum is a key component. The Learning Lab curriculum is comprehensive across numerous sustainability topics, and is closely correlated to federal curriculum standards.

With support form the Santa Fe-based McCune Foundation, SFPS' Sustainability Program has acquired a subscription to the USGBC Learning Lab, for use by SFPS educators. To access the USGBC Learning Lab curriculum, please contact SFPS' Sustainability Program Coordinator, Lisa Randall (505-467-3445, lrandall@sfps.k12.nm.us).
